Hi,
I earlier had McAfee VirusScan 8.0 but it did not worked with vista. I
downloaded Kaspersky internet security beta version. During the
installation
it poped up an error message "Installation failed" and then a blue screen
and
pc started. I again downloaded F-Secure antivirus(AntiVirusVista_7.00-107)
for vista. I tried to install and first time blue screen and pc restarted.
It
kept on rebooting itself. I started the pc in safe mode and installed the
F-Secure antivirus. Which antivirus can i install on vista? Please help.
At this time i dont have any other software/ device drivers installed. All
the drivers are installed byy vista itself.

Download and install the latest version of Avast. It work fine with Vista
and does a good job for $0.

I believe that if you want to use McAfee's Enterprise version, you need to
go to version 8.5 instead of 8.0.

Yep, McAfee 8.5 Enterprise works fine with Vista, Sophos 6 works with Vista
as well as AVG 7.5. These are the ones that we've tested at work.

You could also try Windows Live Onecare.
 
Hi,
Actually i want to install antivirus with firewall. AVG has firewall but it
does not work with vista. I dont want to use windows firewall. Please suggest
a firewall with antivirus for vista.

Thanks
 
A number of solution providers are linked in the Vista Security Center.
Several have both AV and Firewall.
